MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA, REKHA BORANA
Papapuri S/o Chimanpuri – Appellant
Versus
State of Rajasthan – Respondent
Based on the provided legal document, there is a specific point in the case which addresses the issue of alternate gochar land being allotted at a significant distance, which is considered not permissible.
The document mentions that the respondents are in the process of setting apart alternate land of an equal area (864.6148 hectares) in adjoining villages as Pasture lands, which indicates that the original pasture lands have been vested in the Regional Development Authority. It further states that this alternative land is being allocated in nearby villages, implying a considerable distance from the original locations.
The petitioners' argument is that such a distant allotment of gochar (pasture) land is not permissible, as it would violate the principles of sustainable development and the traditional use of pasture lands for grazing of cattle of the villages. The respondents, however, contend that the same area of pasture land is being set apart in adjoining villages, which they argue is a suitable alternative.
Therefore, the case does include a point that the allotment of alternate gochar land at a far distance from the original location is being undertaken, and this practice is challenged on the ground that it is not permissible within the legal framework governing pasture lands and their use.
